harassment

Java’s stand predated by two years the uprising over similar anti-LGBTQ+ police harassment at the Stonewall Inn in New York, and has never received the same attention.

In December 2023, a Manhattan jury found Majors, 35, guilty on one count of assault in the third degree and one count of harassment in the second degree.

In March Kerr pleaded not guilty after being charged with racially aggravated harassment of a police officer in London.

Those involved, including the deputies, “tried to destroy me, physically, mentally, my reputation,” Zelocchi said, adding that he was forced to relocate to Europe as a result of the harassment.

Lincolnshire Police and Humberside Police both say tackling harassment and improving women’s safety is a “priority”.
